Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) is a mental disorder in children and adolescents characterized by a persistently irritable or angry mood and frequent temper outbursts that are disproportionate to the situation and significantly more severe than the typical reaction of same-aged peers. DMDD was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) as a type of depressive disorder diagnosis for youths.[1][2] The symptoms of DMDD resemble many other disorders, thus a differential includes attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), anxiety disorders, and childhood bipolar disorder, intermittent explosive disorder (IED), major depressive disorder (MDD), and conduct disorder.[3][4][5]

DMDD first appeared as a disorder in the DSM-V in 2013[6] and is classified as a mood disorder.[3] Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) developed the DMDD diagnosis to more accurately diagnose youth who may have been previously diagnosed with pediatric bipolar disorder who had not experienced episodes of mania or hypomania.[7]

Diagnosis requires meeting criteria set by the DSM-V, which includes frequent and severe temper outbursts several times a week for over a year that are observed in multiple settings.[3] Treatments include medication to manage mood symptoms as well as individual and family therapy to address emotion-regulation skills.[4] Children with DMDD are at risk for developing depression and anxiety later in life.[3][6]
